Burpees have a new name..."Nightmares"

After Nicole's first PT CrossFit session at about her 30th Burpee (BTW she made it through 40 of them, whew, nice work!) she coined the new name "Nightmares"...if you have never witnessed a burpee I suggest you click here to check one out! Even if you have done them previously check out the great form and techinque. And don't forget the new CrossFit standard after the 2008 CrossFit games is to clap at the top!!! Nicole also had a new name for the "thrusters" but we will wait until she Rx'ds them for her to really describe them, she might come up with something better! Nicole was an animal tonight, after an hour of my spin class she did 4 rounds of 10 K-T-E, 10 DB-Thrusters, 10 Walking Lunges and 10 "nightmares" in 25 minutes! Nice Work Girl!!! Here's the info I promised on Nutrition...click here to view it, Nutrition is really the foundation for all training!

World Class Fitness in 100 Words:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.-Greg Glassman
